Binge

Has anyone binged on food consisting of 9,000 calories

Undoubtedly and that's why I'm here 😕

Binged consecutively for two days on 9,000 calories, just can’t stop eating sugar, it’s like a drug

The only way I could break the sugar cycle was by not having anything in the house. I bought fruit instead and as boring as it sounds I enjoy it now. You're right it is exactly like a drug. I suffered headaches and nausea but I got through it and can now enjoy a small chocolate bar once a week and I really do enjoy it now. Good luck you can do it 😊

I was doing so well with my eating I do well for a few weeks then these binges occur, other people in the house buy the cakes, chocolates and I end up binging on those.

Ask them to keep them out of sight . I'm only just getting control of my binges so I know how hard it is 😊

No one knows I have this binge disorder, it’s hidden, no one cares nor do they understand. Normally when I feel negative emotions I tend to binge, I have had this disorder for over ten yrs

There's lots of support on here and I understand. I've been using meditation on YouTube when I feel the stress and binge urges begin. It helps but it took me a couple of times to do it properly and mindful exercises help 😊

Hi. I'm a binge eater too. It's a circle that's so hard to break. You eat anything you can lay your hands on and then feel guilty about it, but do it again. I find that if I sit down and think what is bothering me and have a cuppa, and tell myself I need to change helps. It's very hard as food is a addiction like any other. I wish you well. We can do it. One day at a time.

I am put in mind of the dr kempner rice diet which was white rice sugar and fruit juice. Interestingly patients reliably reversed their diabetes if I remember correctly.

I’ve never actually counted the calories I’m consuming! I have trouble with this sporadically. I have diabetes, so binging obviously raises my blood sugar to high levels. I’m doing better right now, but will have the occasional bad day!

Hi I’ve been a binge eater for over 10 years now. I started off being ‘addicted’ to laxatives but within the past 5 years forced myself to stop as I was suffering with stomach issues related to their over use. Now I just binge eat... which has resulted in weight gain as I don’t ‘purge’ anymore.

I know exactly what you are going through. I find myself latching onto diets and exercise regimes and going well for a while and then back to the cycle.

I tried counselling but it didn’t work for me... have you tried this? Looking at triggers? Ways of coping?
